This post will be a special one! Haley and Tim became friends of mine about 4 years ago when Haley called and asked me to shoot some images of Her and Tim before Tim was sent for a tour of duty in Iraq. We had the best time together shooting at Miami university where they met. We shot well into the dark all around campus and downtown. It was one of the best sessions I’ve ever had. When we finished I knew I had met friends that night and I remember telling Tim to come back safe and call me when they got engaged because I would love be there for them at their wedding. Three years later I get a call out of the blue: “Hi Nick, this is Haley. Do you remember me and Tim?” Of course!! How could I forget! She went on to tell me they had gotten engaged and would love to have me at their wedding in Charleston. She was a little worried that we might not travel but I told her we had shot several weddings in SC and we wouldn’t miss it for the world!
This one will always be “the” shot that comes to mind when I think of Haley and Tim. These steps are at the foot of the US Customs house in downtown Charleston and it was one spot Blake and I wanted to hit and luckily we squeezed it in on our way to th ceremony cause we got some of my favoties there including the image of Haley below. I remember telling Tim when he gets a desk, this was the 5×7 that he was going to print to put on it!
You can tell family and friends are everything to Haley and Tim. This wedding was certainly a testament to their bonds with them, one groomsmen took leave from Afghanistan and everyone we talked to had traveled several hours to be there. The entire weekend there was a feeling in the air that everyone was excited to be there, was really having fun and knew they were in the middle of what would be a legendary weekend. Blake and I certainly felt that way and we were so thankful to be there with everyone to see such an amazing couple become one! Check out their movie on YouTube below and view all their images on our site here. If you have an iPhone, Pad or iPod you can download their app by clicking this link from your device, there is a share link at the bottom of the app that will allow you to email your friends. Thanks Haley and Tim! We loved every minute of working with you, your families and your friends. We hope to get to see you all again soon! -Nick & Blake
Best end of night shot EVER! 🙂

Shelly and Jake’s wedding is right around the corner! Jake lives right around the corner from the studio so we were shooting in his back yard, definitely the most local shots I’ve done all year. Glad we were able to get together and shoot a bit before their big day at Polen Farm. Have fun Guys! -Nick

I’ve been spending the weekend working, and I’m glad. I certainly miss the time with my family, I’m just glad I have the opportunity to do what I love in the greatest nation on earth. The whole reason I get to do what I love is that Millions of Men and women from My generation and many generations past have served this amazing country and sacrificed so much to ensure we all enjoy our freedoms and the choice to be who we want to be. I’m writing this as a thank you to all my family, Most notably my Fathers Jim O’Donnell and Ed Burns who served during the Vietnam war, and Ben my brother who served in the Army. Also to all the friends I’ve made over the years through the studio. Tim Wolfe who’s wedding we just shot served in Iraq and several of his friends have served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Deirdre and Dan’s brother was in Afganistan the day of their wedding and called at 3am local time to say “Hi.” Jackie and Justin’s brother is still serving in the Army but looks to be home soon. Niki and Kenny’s wedding last June was one of my favorites. Nearly all of his groomsmen, Niki’s Father and Brother, and several wedding attendants had served or were currently serving. Their movie is below. I’m so thankful for each and everyone one of you I have met and worked with over the years. I am so proud of you and I am glad to call you my friends. Thank you!
